Le Saint

Le Saint (French pronunciation: [lə sɛ̃]; Breton: Ar Sent) is a commune in the Morbihan department of Brittany in north-western France.

The municipality launched a Breton linguistic plan through Ya d'ar brezhoneg on 24 February 2005.

The population has been divided by three since the first world war.

Le Saint is located in the northwestern part of Morbihan, 40 km (25 mi) north of Lorient. Historically, it belongs to Cornouaille. Le Saint is border by Gourin to the west and the north, by Langonnet and Le Faouët to the east and by Guiscriff to the south. The river Inam forms the commune's western border and the river Moulin du Duc forms the commune's eastern border. The two rivers meet at the southern end of the commune at a place called Pont Briand. Apart from the village centre there are about eighty hamlets.

The lords of Faouët, the Bouteville, lived in their castle in Le Saint in the fifteenth century.
